Sue,
Hang in there with Nova, we already know how amazing our dogs are. She will take your lead on how to get through this. We had a Cocker Spaniel 5 years ago and she was deaf for about 3 years when she also lost her sight. At the time I wasn't sure how she would handle it, but she knew her path in our home and she depended on us to keep her safe.
Give Nova lots of love and take care, we send you hugs & licks.
Thank you for the kind words regarding Paris, we went for a road trip today and an ice cream treat. We are loving her one day at a time.
Gineej & Paris
Grateful for every moment we had with Paris…..no regrets!
Honoring her life by opening our hearts & home to Addy!

Less than 48 hours as a blind Tripawd, and LOOK how well she can find her way:
She felt awful yesterday (eye pain made her want to sleep not eat). But today she feels great and we had the pressures measured and they were normal! Still no vision though, so it's looking like this is permanent. But I am so happy she is adapting.
For more pics and another video, visit her blog at http://www.trip.....ogspot.com
